LGBTQ Resources

Greater Lynn Senior Services is committed to providing programming and services to all older adults, persons with disabilities, and their caregivers in the Greater Lynn area and, in some cases, all of Boston's North Region. This includes providing resources, information, and support those individuals who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA), and their allies so that they can make informed health, mental health, and life choices more easily, comfortably, and with dignity. GLSS is committed to be an LGBTQIA friendly community, and welcomes all individuals regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or anything that makes an individual unique.

LGBTQIA Task Force and Events

GLSS has created an outreach program called the LGBTQIA Task Force which provides programming specifically tailored toward LGBTQIA-friendly activities and environments. The organization meets Bi-Monthly and arranges for a variey of events, which include movie nights, game nights, discussions on LGBTQIA issues, coffee meetups, and other community outings. If you are interested in our LGBTQIA programming, please contact GLSS' LGBTQIA Liaison Taylor Lamberta at tlamberta@glss.net .
